You don't?

Daves-MacBook-Pro:~ dave$ wc -l lib/*words
   644785 lib/allwords
    45402 lib/linuxwords
   235886 lib/words (a symlink to the system dictionary)
   926073 total

("allwords" is just a combined FreeBSD/Linux words, with dups removed).

Very useful for solving word puzzles in newspapers...
